Chapter 15

Kikyo shivered in the lake's cool water. Inuyasha and the others had gone to the village to rest. She has asked to be alone for her sake only. "Kaede?" She asked towards the bushes. A small girl came out holding a basket. "Yes Sister?" Kikyo sighed. Why was she worried? He wouldn't…….he had killed Aira and Tohru but she could of stopped it. "Sister Kikyo? Your not thinking about that Naraku person are you?" She shook her head. "No.." She lied. Kaede wouldn't of understand what was going on without everyone opening their big mouths. But her mind wandered all the way back when she got the jewel of four souls. Why did she have it take it when so many people died to have it? Kaede knew something was wrong with her sister. It didn't take Inuyasha to figure that out. "Don't worry….." She replied sleepily. She climbed out and placed on her miko clothes. Soon Kaede was sitting next to Kikyo on the land by the lake. "Kaede do you think….no…" she quickly messed up that idea. "What sister?" She asked but before Kikyo could answer Shippou came running back by himself. Kikyo stood up. "Where is everyone Shippou?" The little fox demon was panting.

"Yura….hair everywhere…Help..Inuyasha in trouble…" The miko grabbed her arrows and told Kaede to stay there for protect. "Where?" He pointed to the village up ahead.

"DAMN IT!!!!" Inuyasha yelled as the woman came towards them. The women of the village were not acting like their selves .Someone was controlling them. But who?

He dodged everything. Mionk had gone to the rescue of Faye. He was shielding her.

"Run! Take the jewel shards and run!!!!" I was handed the jewel shards and I ran to the bone eater's well. But someone was there before me. "Kanno?" I said shaking my head. No he wouldn't show himself. He heard his name being called and vanished through the trees up ahead of him. "Why did he run from me??" I asked myself but I glanced at the well.

"This is where I came out with him and met everyone…." I dropped to my knees wishing I could remember why I left Tokyo from this place beyond my time. Then I stood up as quickly as I fell on my knees. I saw something shine bright in the sun's glow. Hair…?

It didn't make sense, well nothing did. Japan was becoming such adventure even though I had lived there for a time. Then a girl dressed in a low v-neck shirt came down on wire. Or was it hair?

"Oh….you can see me…" She had no shoes on and her hair was short and she wore a sword at her side. "Yeah..are you doing this? TELL ME!" I yelled as the hair bonded my hands and feet. "I am Yura of the demon hair…But you can see it right?" I nodded trying to think my way out of this mess. Yura was so pretty but she held a red comb in her right hand. "Yeah!" Then she took the jewel shards we tried so hard to get away from me. "HEY! THEY ARE NOT YOURS!!!!!!!" She laughed. The bonds were getting tighter on me. I felt my breaths shorting. Was I suppose to die this way? NO! Kikyo's arrow struck Yura in the back. Then I felt myself falling back into the well without the jewel shard. "Those jewel shards are ours. Demon…" She said coldly aiming another arrow at Yura. She was still on the ground trying to get back up. "Never! THEY ARE MINE!!" She screamed louder as a giant hairball appeared overhead. "Don't play tricks on me demon!" Inuyasha arrived at that moment to stop Kikyo from shooting her arrow. "KIKYO!" The miko screamed when the hair hit her in the side making her fall on her stomach. Inuyasha went over to her. Yura had almost given up on herself. But she was immortal. "Don't !" She said getting up back on the hair. Hair stretched at all places around him but she bonded both of his legs and arms. "DAMN IT!!!!!!!" A sword came down towards him cutting him on his side. Kikyo laid solemnly on her stomach not even awoke to the reality to the events which were happening . Her bow and arrows were away from her . She couldn't see it anymore but she heard Inuyasha's screams. "Damn demon…" She mumbled. Mionk arrived saving the priestess from certain doom. "Need help Kikyo?" He asked smartly. He glanced around excepting to see Faye around but no luck. "Yeah I do monk….but …I need my arrows back.." He bent down and gave it to her as she leaned on him for support to get up.

She aimed it at the huge hairball. Inuyasha's left hand was covered in blood and he yelled "BLADES OF BLOOD!" As Yura came down and it struck her in the check causing her right hand to be cut off. But the hair covered her arm and placed her right hand back on.

"Is that all you got fool? It seems the nitwit Inuyasha still lives…" He ripped through hair but was slashed again by her sword. He yelled louder so they could hear him. Kikyo's arrow struck the hair ball and dozen heads of skulls came out. Yura went crazy and raised up her red comb and fire slashed out of it but Kikyo dodged it by her arrow. "INUYASHA THE RED SKULL IS KEEPING HER ALIVE!!!!" She yelled loudly. Inuyasha nodded as Mionk stood his ground ready to open his air void. Kikyo told him he shouldn't know only if it was really needed. And this wasn't anything what Kikyo had except. She aimed her arrow and let it go hoping it would hit the red skull. Yura screamed hurrying herself to the red skull but screamed when the arrow sliced through the red skull onto the red comb breaking it until Yura drifted into the air. Her clothes fell to the ground as her body vanished.

Kikyo fell on her knees clutching Inuyasha. She was sure she was going to lose him if he wasn't careful. Mionk picked up the jewel shards.

I glanced at the well's bottom. Why did Yura do that? I wondered what Kikyo and Inuyasha and the others might do to her. Then I heard Kagome's voice in the well. "What are you doing in there Faye?" She asked. I was breathing harder then ever as Kagome helped me out.
